DLS and board,
With all respects to LarryS.,;
The Sony DA777Es receiver is hardly out of place with the aforementioned gear.
The '777's production run was ended prematurely due to widespread speculation that it competed too cheaply with Sony's own separates, the 9000 series pre-amp and amp.
At a $1500.00 price point, the STR-DA777ES was one of the great deals and steals of the last 20 years, audio-wise- majorly overbuilt with top notch electronics. I'm not selling mine, no-how no-way until they prey it from my cold dead remote.
BTW, it is 5.1 and thats fine with me. Has anyone listened to the Prologic sound of Bladerunner lately? That sounds fantastic!
